September 15th was a night to remember as weSPARK celebrated its 15th Anniversary and what would have been weSPARK Founder, Wendie Jo Sperber’s 59th Birthday at the Skirball Cultural Center! We had an all-star cast of comedians which included Carol Leifer, Jimmy Brogan, Bobby Tessel, Wendy Liebman, Ray Romano and Kevin Nealon. This year’s May Contain Nuts Comedy Show raised $234,000 for weSPARK programs!
